London Calling?

VICTORIA BECKHAM might have shown her eponymous fashion collection in New York each season so far but that doesn't mean she's ruled out ever showing in London.

"I love New York - what's not to love? But at some point I would love to show in London. This is my home. I never say never. I'm very proud to be British and the brand is British," said the designer, who was the surprise guest at yesterday's International Herald Tribune Heritage Luxury conference.

"I'm a female designer and I'm designing for women. It's got to look good from all angles. I've been on that red carpet so I want to make a woman look good and feel the best," explained Beckham of her design and work ethos. "How I work is I put the dress on myself - I won't name names but some of my male designer friends do it too. I've been that celebrity and my aim is to make people look beautiful."

The key, then, to achieving this?

"I love what I do. I'm very passionate about what I do," Beckham enthused, noting the support of Roland Mouret and Simon Fuller.
